Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
Haha, yeah.
I guess. But then this Deva's got to be not lawful in some way, right? I mean, they were on a drunk weekend to limbo. How does that happen when you're lawful? Even if you obey whatever drunk plane shifting laws the outsiders have then getting drunk and then heading straight to limbo, a place of chaos, is a strange occurrence for a being of law. Or is alignment not altered if stuff you did while drunk would change your alignment if you did it sober?
Anyway, how did the Deva even get drunk? Aren't angels, like, immune to disease and have pretty good fortitude saves?
EDIT: On an unrelated note, this means Celia has been around for quite some time and Roy has been dating a centuries-old sylph. That, or there are an utterly enormous number of sylphs/other air elementals that marry and have kids because their memories keep getting wiped. Do they even die of old age!?

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
The thoughts that went through my head during this strip:
Obviously the cleric in question is Hilgya. The chances of it being somebody else are 1 in a million.
Wait, exactly 1 in a million? But that means...
Mwahahahaha!!!!We don't need no steeeenkin' signatures!

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
I guess they were able to put together all the dust into which Durkula’s body was disintegrated after Belkar destroyed it, for Hilgya’s “Resurrection” to work.
I can imagine the rest of the order carefully sweeping up the dust to make sure they don’t miss any... :)PJoseB

I'm betting that Hilgya was planning to rez Durkon after she killed him. Er... 5 quatloos?Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Huh, well, that answers my confusion about why the IFCC didn't know about the snarl.

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
First, it’s definitely interesting that they have to wipe the Outsider’s minds. Not that I think it’ll come up again, but it’s still a cool tidbit. Also, I’m sad but not surprised to see Minrah go. Finally, I’m definitely eagerly awaiting seeing what happens with Durkon once he’s brought back.

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
I think you miss the point of exemplars of elemental chaos if you expect them to be predictable.
Resurrection works with just a drop of blood, so a pinch of dust is all that would be needed. More would be desirable (for psychological reasons, at least), but not needed.
Obviously, Limbo is the planar equivalent of Las Vegas. So what happens in Limbo...

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
I'm not even sure I can process the words "Celestial Slaad".
In any event, the host body isn't a genetic contributor; it's just a nursery for the egg and food for the young slaad.
Durkon didn't see the cutaway panel; he just heard the conversation. There are details that the deva is not sharing with Durkon, even if the Giant is sharing them with us.

The Greatest Threads Of GiantITP (in my opinion):
A story of the exact wrong way to run a campaign.
The best thread derailment of all time.
The "canonical" list of Mostly Useless Magic Items.
A ridiculous campaign.
Weird dreams.

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
Yeah, from a sci-fi show about aliens who gamble. Actually, it's probably more famous because of the internet by now.

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
Ugh.
A deva with a slaad?
Just... how does that work, exactly?
Also, are angels genderless in this cosmology?
Or is that a male deva?
Sooooo many questions.When in doubt, set it on fire, right?

Well, that is the placement in D&D's Great Wheel cosmology.

This is the comic that gets the live action movie an R-rating, obviously. Glad to see Durkon going back though.

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
And yet, they meet the requirements to have the half-celestial template applied. By the rules, it is perfectly possible to have a Slaad with the half-celestial template.
What is this genetics of which you speak and how does it work in D&D land where a dragon and an ooze can make a lovely little baby half-dragon ooze.Last edited by Doug Lampert; 2018-11-26 at 07:58 PM.

Re: OOTS #1147 - The Discussion Thread
Well, there's one group of powerful Outsiders with a stake in this conflict: that consortium of Lawful/Chaotic/Neutral Evil dudes. zimmerwald1915 mentioned them. They now know about the Snarl and might be wondering what the gods do to ageless, immortal creatures who learn about it.
I wonder how often knowledge of the Snarl gets out. It's been over 1000 years into this world's tenure and top-level Outsiders are just learning about it. Wouldn't the gods also have to do things like destroy records of the Snarl kept by Outsiders? It can't be so simple as to just cast Forget Snarl and call it a day.Even the wind will know agony.
